It's almost guaranteed that there will still be a graphical touch layout that is identical to the old one.
If they removed that it would be absolutely crazy because most people who use MacBooks for productive work require the Function keys.

I've been developing exclusively on MBPs since 2007ish and I barely ever use the F-row for anything other than volume and brightness adjustment. I agree, though, that the graphical touch layout is going to duplicate the current functionality of the F-row.
- DominikR 10y agoI doubt there are studies about this, but I know you use it in XCode, Android Studio (IntelliJ), Eclipse and the Adobe Suit. That should be a significant enough user base to make the idea of completely removing the function key "crazy".
- boardwaalk 10y agoProbably true, and I bet some third party will make a key outline adhesive strip so you can get at least a little physical feel if you want it. I wonder if it'll have haptic feedback.
